I was, and still am, in awe of this team. Having hiked one of the New Hampshire 4,000 footers with my dog, I know it is no easy feat with perfect vision! Seeing how Scuttle navigates rocky terrain, I can see it would take a lot of restraint and very strong muscles on Quinn's part to hike the mountain while helping Randy.

Randy and Quinn's journey is even more amazing because by 2003, Randy's neurological disorder left him completely blind and in a wheelchair. But with the Labrador's help, Randy spent the next two years working to get out of his wheelchair.

After working hard to gain mobility, Randy and Quinn began taking their activities to the next level, hiking and even running together. After completing the New Hampshire 4,000 footers, Randy and Quinn went on to run the Boston Athletic Association 5k last year.

Inspired by their progress and thankful for his robust support group, Randy founded 2020 Vision Quest to share his story and raise money for Guiding Eyes for the Blind (the organization that trained Quinn) and The New Hampshire Association for the Blind. In 2015, Randy is planning to run in the Boston Marathon, sadly without Quinn.
